Dual-Stick Mixing

The brew barrel is your canvas. Two sticks, three flavours, infinite chaos with friends.

Core verbs

The player holds a paddle. Left stick aims the paddle tip in the barrel; right stick controls pour pressure and pour direction at the tap.

  • Stir: circular left-stick motion. Builds heat & blends ingredients.
  • Pour: right-stick flick toward tap. Decants a measured amount.
  • Dunk: hold ZR to submerge an object. Triggers transformation.
  • Taste: hold A. Reveals current potency reading.
